The people of Bellbowrie and Moggill are calling themselves the forgotten ones.
Sadly this town is known for the bride lifted by helicopter to attend her wedding, covered by national television.
“We thought the helicopter was bringing food and water, we were stunned” a local said.
A couple in their 80’s who suffered in the 1974 floods lost their home under the water in this flood. They have found a caravan to live in at the moment.
“There are many people worse off than we are” they said when we inquired about assisting them. “Nobody is helping the town. People don’t understand how bad things are here.”
This couple in their 80's are relatives of Northern Beaches residence Ross & Maggie Bell, Cromer
